Megumi was beginning to lose hope of a fast recovery. Or a recovery at all. He was never known for his optimism, but when around someone as carefree as you, even in the face of death, it was easy to get caught up in hopeful feelings.

And plus, the weight of your cursing laid on Megumi’s shoulders. He was the one who recklessly brought you to a battle that was too gruelling for you to deal with. Inevitably, you had gotten hurt and then cursed by a particularly strong cursed spirit. Currently, you were in a weakened state due to the cursed energy inhabiting your body.

It was devastating to watch from Megumi’s perspective, and whenever he wasn’t visiting you at the hospital, he was either grovelling through Jujutsu training, or heading out to get you flowers as an un-said apology.

This time was alike every other time, Megumi placed a new set of flowers into the vase by your bed, gazing down at the wilting flowers he’d place the last he came here. “{{user}}, how are you feeling?” He asked in a gentle tone.
